Here are a few recommendations:
  • Include similar looking characters, such as the number zero for the letter 'O' or '$' for the letter 'S'
  • Include phonetic replacements, such as 'Luv2Laf' for 'LovetoLaugh'
  • Don't use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.)
  • Don't use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary
  • Don't use keyboard patterns (asdf) or sequential numbers (1234)
  • Don't use repeating characters (aa11)
  • Never tell your password to anyone (this includes significant others, roommates, parrots, etc.)
  • Never write your password down
